The 18-track TWO-FACE BANG 2 mixtape (whose title references 2 Face Bang, his debut indie mixtape of 2018) contains "No Love" featuring Sleepy Hallow, Fredo’s brand new single + video that posted the biggest first week at Spotify of his career. Other collabos on the new mixtape feature Roddy Ricch, YNW Melly, and more. (Please see complete track list below.) Fredo Bang also released the official video for "Last One Left" featuring Roddy Ricch today. TWO-FACE BANG 2 is a landmark release for Fredo Bang, a YouTube Trending Artist On The Rise with over 1 million subscribers. As one of Soundcloud’s Artists Of The Month in April for SiriusXM, Fredo is featured on both "The Lookout By Soundcloud'' show on Hip-Hop Nation, and on Soundcloud Radio. TWO-FACE BANG 2 is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Murder Made Me (August 2021), whose initial single + video “Street Team” was praised by HotNewHipHop for its “menacing flow.” Highlights of the mixtape ranged from the boisterous opening charge of a Louisiana second line on the hard-hitting “Throw Da Set (Long Live Von),” to multiplatinum Chicago drill superstar Polo G’s melodic harmonies on “Bless His Soul.” Coi Leray joined Fredo on “Oou Oou,” a raunchy guitar-laden banger; and Mozzy provided counterpoint to Fredo’s soulful intonation on the tearful and joyful victory lap, “Amen.” Prior to Murder Made Me, 2020 was a busy year for Fredo, who released his debut album in April, Most Hated, with "Get Even," “Trust Issues," "Vest Up," and "Yo Slime." It was followed in September by In The Name Of Gee, the 15-track mixtape that paid tribute to his friend Gee Money, who was murdered in 2017. The mixtape debuted at #93 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Fredo’s biggest first week to that point in his career. The string of 11 single + video releases from In The Name Of Gee spanned the last six months of 2020: "Receipts," "Top" featuring Lil Durk (massive RIAA gold #1 Bubbling Under benchmark), "Monsters," "Clock Out," "Second Line," "No Security" featuring Kevin Gates (#2 Trending, highest ever for a Fredo video), "How It Go" (#1 most streamed track of the week), "In Gee We Trust,” "Lately" featuring Seven7Hardaway (whose colorful video was shot on nighttime location on the Las Vegas strip), "Dangerous," and "Freak" featuring Mulatto. The 15-track mixtape was expanded into a deluxe 21-track project issued four months later in January 2021, In The Name Of Gee (Still Most Hated), buoyed by the remix of “Top.” The new mixtape version was executive produced by Moneybagg Yo, who had also served as executive producer of the original Most Hated. Rolling Stone magazine named Fredo #1 on its ‘Breakthrough 25’: The Fastest Rising Artist Of The Month’ list for April 2020. Prior to the Covid-19 hiatus, Fredo was set to hit the road as the highest-billed support act on Moneybagg’s 26-city cross-country "Time Served Tour," with dates running from March through May 2020. Details of the rescheduled tour will be announced soon. TWO-FACE BANG 2 by Fredo Bang – mixtape track listing: 1.Street Lights 2.Gianni’s Wish 3.Last One Left ft.

Money Man 17.Throw It Back 18.Fool For Love ABOUT FREDO BANG: Fredo Bang clawed his way out of Baton Rouge, LA and to the forefront of the game. Since emerging in 2015, he has posted up nearly 1 billion streams and earned praise from Rolling Stone, XXL, The FADER, DJ Booth, and HYPEBEAST. He has collaborated with everyone from YNW Melly to Moneybagg Yo to Kevin Gates. 2018’s 2 Face Bang mixtape put Fredo on the map with the breakout single “Oouuhh” (over 24 million Spotify streams), and a streak of hits including “Shootas on the Roof” and “Father” (over 22 million YouTube views). The street took deeper notice in 2019, with the Big Ape mixtape and a non-stop string of regional single + video hits that included "Oouuh" Remix featuring Kevin Gates, "Gangsta Talk" featuring NLE Choppa, and "Story To Tell" (Remix) featuring Moneybagg Yo. Fredo entered into a partnership with Def Jam in the fall 2019, and the hits continued unabated with "Face Down" and "Vest Up," then "Yo Slime," and "Waitin 4" (with a beat from Hardbody B-Eazy and DJ Chose). Fredo launched into fan favorite projects Pain Made Me Numb in November, with the single + video releases "Cap A Lot" and "Slidin." April 2020 brought the back-to-back releases of the single + video “Trust Issues,” and Fredo’s debut album, Most Hated, executive produced by Moneybagg Yo. The next string of new tracks, “Receipts,” “Top,” “Monsters” "Clock Out" (#4 trending on YouTube), "Second Line," and "No Security" featuring Kevin Gates pointed the way to In The Name Of Gee (September 2020). Fredo caught fire again caught fire in 2021, with the Deluxe Album In The Name of Gee (Still Most Hated) with "Big Steppa" and "Loose Screws (Blues Clues).” The unshakable “Top (Remix)” [feat. Lil Durk] eclipsed 42 million global streams and 21 million views in a few months’ time. As the project tallied 160 million total streams, it captured #2 on the Billboard Current Rap Albums and Current R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, and cracked the Top 40 of the 200 albums chart. Murder Made Me arrived in August 2021, his sixth mixtape in less than two and a half years, with a cast of collaborators that included Polo G. Coi Leray, and Mozzy. After a long, pandemic-driven break, Fredo returned in April 2022, with his seventh mixtape, Two Face Bang 2 that included the new single "No Love" featuring Sleepy Hallow, the biggest first week at Spotify of Fredo’s career. Flaunt predicted, “Fredo Bang is the next rap superstar to come out of the south,” and he proves the claim true with Two-Face Bang 2, and more music on the horizon FOLLOW FREDO BANG: OFFICIAL SITE | YOUTUBE | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | SOUNDCLOUD | SPOTIFY |
